Rome

I visited Rome on a work trip last week. Couldn’t experience too much of it because the trip was brief and the schedule – tight.

I liked their inner gardens and pretty, well dressed people. The food outside of the tourist centre was superb.

I hated the car culture, the swarms of tourists. Almost got run by a motorcycle on the sidewalk. Didn’t see a single cat. The Sistine Chapel was so packed that I wandered if I’ll get out alive.

Had Gelato every day. It was fantastic 🍧

How often do you walk or run?

How often do you walk or run?

The daily writing prompt is poking me at my weak spot. I walk every day I can and my goal is to walk roughly 2h per day or 10K steps. I believe that walking makes life better, and cars make it worse. Walking also gives material for blog posts.

Here are photos from my two daily walks today. The first one was part of my trip back home.

A thousand tourists staring at a marvelous tourist creation, like flies attracted by sugary water. Tourists can make the prettiest thing on the planet look undesirable.

Stray white panther from Sofia. Well fed and bored, refused to look at me for the photo. Wouldn’t have seen her without my evening walk to buy food. No tourists around.
